Am I correct so far?

[rolnor]

Its really not very good to alkylate alkyllithium compounds with alkyl iodides, better make cuprate. Its possible it works but very slow. Also its likely you get halogen-metal exchange rather than substitution.

@OP, What sort of reaction do you intend for A to B?

[hollytara]

A to B....  has an alkene and a diene..  Did they teach you Diels-Alder?

[Gameofketones]

Yes isn't what I did diels Alder from A to B?

[Babcock_Hall]

@OP, What is the product of a standard Diels-Alder reaction?

[rolnor]

The alkene is not a dienophile, but still give DA?

[hollytara]

Rolnor - you CAN force 1,3-butadiene and ethene to do a Diels-Alder reaction at high pressure.  This is a paper synthesis - being intra molecular is a little like higher pressure!  I don't see what else an alkene and diene will do with just heat.

[Gameofketones]

These questions don't concern with the actual practicability of the reaction. These are just practice questions.

[AWK]

Then do an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction correctly.

[Gameofketones]

Yeah, my bad..I was going for Diels Alder but messed it up

[rolnor]

OK, I understand.
